1 | 12 | PRESTO (CJ048) | D Whyte | -- | Out in line, soon slotted in the running line, settled well 3 to 4Ls back, had a 3 wide trail to bend, came with a well timed run in straight to overhaul them inside 100 M and score comfortably. |
2 | 8 | BERIO (CJ202) | B Prebble | XB | Began well, crossed to race outside leader from awkward alley, had a fair run to bend, applied acid test to leader soon after straightening, got better off front runners at 100 M but no match for winner late. |
3 | 9 | MASTER ELITE (CJ210) | Z Purton | -- | Restrained from an outside alley, ended up back sharing rear 7Ls off pace, unsuited when pace slowed, trailed 3 wide on bend, had job to do turning, made remarkable ground in straight flashing late for 3rd. |
4 | 1 | THUNDER DANCING (CG250) | H W Lai | B | Showed usual speed to take up running, set a reasonable tempo throughout, kept honest by outside horse, held a narrow lead turning, overhauled at 150 M but stayed on well to make frame. |
5 | 11 | CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) | K T Yeung | CP-/B1/TT | Away fairly, crossed to sit before midfield 3 wide with cover 4 to 5Ls back, was difficult to settle, improved 4 wide on bend, 3Ls down turning, made steady progress in straight to just miss frame. |
6 | 5 | MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) | B Doyle | B | Out with them, caught wide and without cover, pushed forward to race 1L off leaders, did work to bend, kept giving in straight producing game finishing effort to be not far away on line. |
7 | 3 | FINGERS CROSSED (CG037) | K C Leung | -- | No early speed, raced 7Ls back with last few, not helped when pace slackened, still had field to beat on bend, closed off nicely late making good headway final 200 M. |
8 | 6 | MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) | F Coetzee | B | Began with rest, held a spot 3Ls back on fence, enjoyed a quiet trip to bend, angled 2 wide turning, just held ground behind horses in straight without really threatening. |
9 | 2 | TRULLI (CH327) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Slow into stride, raced in rearward division 6 to 7Ls off pace in 3 wide line, always covering ground but did have trail, switched wide turning, closed off nicely without looking likely. |
10 | 13 | GREAT SUPREME (CJ027) | Y T Cheng | -- | First to hit ground, pressed on to race prominently, raced one out one back, in behind horses turning, didn't respond to urging and just held ground late. (Jockey reported needed run.) |
11 | 10 | SUPER BABY (CH227) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Ordinary jump, drifted back to share rear, 7Ls away not helped when pace steadied, still same margin down turning, switched wide but only made fair progress in straight. |
12 | 4 | ROCKET POWER (CH136) | K L Chui | B/TT | Well enough away, took a midfield position 3 to 4Ls away, difficult to settle in midfield, back behind horses without a clear run, closed only fairly when clear. |
13 | 14 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | W M Lai | B | Amongst fastest out, took a spot behind leader, had reasonable run to bend, no response when they sprinted and struggled in straight. |
14 | 7 | NOBLE DE BEST (CJ160) | M Du Plessis | -- | Tardy into stride, settled 5Ls away on rails, used little in run, saved ground on bend, under pressure at 500 M, faded out easily in straight. |
